11x

11x is an algebraic expression representing the product of the integer 11 and the variable x. It is a linear term in x with coefficient 11. In standard notation, 11x is read as “eleven times x” and is equivalent to adding x to itself eleven times when x is a real number, or multiplying the scalar 11 by x.

As a function, the expression can be written as f(x) = 11x. This defines a linear function with slope 11 and a y-intercept of 0. The same idea extends to other contexts: if x is a vector, 11x denotes scalar multiplication, scaling the vector by 11; if x is a matrix, 11x scales every entry of the matrix by 11.

In equation form, 11x is used to relate x to another quantity. For example, if 11x = y, then x = y/11. If x is restricted to real numbers, 11x preserves the sign of x, so 11x > 0 exactly when x > 0, and 11x < 0 exactly when x < 0. When x = 0, 11x = 0.

11x is also classified as a monomial of degree 1 and appears as a basic building block in polynomials and linear expressions. It is often encountered in solving linear equations, in describing proportional relationships, and as a simple example of scalar multiplication in algebra.
